Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 3: Koh Lian Pin on transitory allowance for EITE sectors, green economy and sustainability reporting
How is the Government planning to help small- and medium-sized enterprises in the shift towards greater accountability towards their carbon emissions to ensure they are able to meet the carbon accounting requirements of large corporations? How will the Government ensure sufficient green jobs and green growth opportunities for Singaporeans in the coming decades? How will the Government help businesses embark on sustainability initiatives while reducing cost? NMP Koh Lian Pin raised these questions in Parliament on Tuesday (Feb 28). He also asked the Government to elaborate on the efficiency standards and decarbonisation targets that Emissions-Intensive Trade-Exposed (EITE) companies would have to meet to receive transitory allowances for part of their emissions.
